We believe that George R. R. Martin has put a lot of effort and thought into creating a deeper dimension of archetype and symbol in his writing. He’s created connections between past and future, between sky and ground. He’s built on classic figures from world mythology and twisted them around in new and incredible ways to fashion his own archetypal characters whose divine roles are played out by the characters in the story. He’s done all of this not only to be artistic and clever, but because he’s actually participating in a grand tradition of esoteric, symbolic art. Keeping this tradition alive is of critical importance and tremendous value to society, and that is why I believe this facet of A Song of Ice and Fire is so worthy of study. This podcast is intended to be our vehicle to explore these inner workings, and it is fueled by enthusiasm, yours and mine.

Long, long time listener here
David puts out great content. I wish he would continue putting out podcasts. I don't need to watch him or download video size files.
Need more podcasts
The only bad part is that as David does more and more YT content, the podcast seems to be more and more neglected.
My new favorite ASOIAF content creator
I am obsessed with everything about his podcast and YT channel! You can tell DL is extremely passionate about the novels and the symbolism contained in them. This is the perfect podcast for ASOIAF nerds like myself. I’m currently doing a re read of the novels and this I a great companion to it!
